CyanogenMod 10 nightly builds now rolling out for certain devices

If you’ve been waiting patiently to get your hands on experimental Jelly Bean-based ROM for your phone, today could be your lucky day. The team behind popular custom firmware CyanogenMod has opened the floodgates and started churning out CM10 nightly builds for some supported devices.

Nightly builds are highly experimental, probably unstable and likely not suited to being used as a daily driver. However they do give owners of supported phones the chance to try out near-vanilla Android 4.1 Jelly Bean months before their official update will drop, in addition to introducing some helpful software tweaks from the CM team.

Notable devices now receiving CyanogenMod 10 nightlies include, but are not limited to --

The US SGS3 variants

The Galaxy Nexus variants

The Nexus S varaints

The Nexus 7

The Transformer and Transformer Prime

The SGS1 variants (Vibrant, Captivate, International, and i9000b)

The SGS2 i9100g

P3 and P5 tablets (Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and 10.1)

Other devices are getting nightlies too, so to see if your phone or tablet is supported, check the get.cm download link below. Kudos to the entire team of CM maintainers for bringing a taste of Jelly Bean to dozens of devices this morning!

I would wait before flashing this first build on the Nexus 7. It won't boot. I tried it twice, multiple users over at XDA had the same issue. I have not seen any success story yet. Hopefully they get a bootable build up soon.
